House For Sale £975,000
Capel Road, Forest Gate

This imposing home has uninterrupted views over Wanstead Flats, 318 acres of open grassland which give it a sense of space and tranquillity not usually found in such a central East London location. There are excellent transport links into the city centre via Manor Park station (0.4 miles), which is fully served by the new Elizabeth Line with a direct link to Heathrow airport. Wanstead Park Overground Station is 0.8 miles from the property. Families are well catered for in Forest Gate - there are excellent local schools and nurseries within a short walk, including Chestnut Nursery, Aldersbrook Primary School (rated Outstanding by OFSTED) and Forest Gate Community School (also rated Outstanding). The property is only 2.7 miles from Westfield Shopping Centre and the Olympic Park where there are a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. On approach, the immaculate frontage, bespoke stained glass front door, bay windows and Victorian brickwork create a grand first impression. The accommodation, which is approximately 1550 sqft, is arranged over two floors, with the extensive ground floor accommodation comprising two formal reception rooms, with original fireplaces, cornicing, wooden floors and ceiling roses. From the hallway, there is a cellar, ground floor WC and a separate utility area. The architect-designed, custom-built kitchen/diner is beautiful, spacious and light. The mix of natural colours and materials (handmade birch ply units with high-end integrated appliances, and a Forbo Marmoleum floor) creates a calm and comfortable space. Elegant glass double doors and floor to ceiling windows along the side wall connect the kitchen to the garden. On the first floor there are four bedrooms - three generous doubles and a single, with wooden flooring throughout. The principal bedroom has stunning views over Wanstead Flats with sash windows and built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom is also located on this floor. The 60ft rear garden is very special, with flowers, shrubs, trees, and an abundance of wildlife.
